As we stand on the precipice of (FINALLY!!!) a "holy ****" moment, you've gotta admire President Kenny Anderson's guts.

DAMN IT! I missed last week's show. Can you catch me up?

Wayne's already back on his feet, and defending his office from the Veep's attempt to 25th-Amendment him. After a brief debate, the Cabinet is tied 7-7 on removing Wayne from office. That means he stays, until the Veep claims that Karen's vote doesn't count because she resigned as National Security Advisor. Nothing for it but to reconvene the Supreme Court. Everyone knows the Veep doesn't have a leg to stand on, including his Chief of Staff, Lisa. So she secretly offers to commit perjury to support his case. The Veep takes her up on it, much to his embarrassment when it turns out that Tom's bugged the conference room. Tom forces the Veep to back down, and Wayne gets to remain president for as long as he can continue browbeating his doctor into keeping him conscious with adrenalin shots. At CTU, Doyle has decided that the security breach was Milo's fault, so he enlists Nadia's help in finding the proof on Milo's system. She does, and it turns out that Doyle only wanted to hide the evidence to keep Milo out of trouble. Aw, what a nice asshole. Satisfied with his immunity agreement, Gredenko calls Fayed to set up a meeting at the Santa Monica Pier. Before cutting Gredenko loose, CTU tags him with a radioactive tracker isotope in his arm. Which works great, until Fayed's men cut Gredenko's arm off. Gredenko then tries to make a solo escape by outing Fayed in a crowded bar, which would have gotten Fayed killed if Kiefer hadn't shown up in time to take him into custody. Unfortunately, Fayed left his two remaining nukes behind with his men, so they're still out there somewhere. Gredenko only gets far enough to quickly bleed to death, unlike a certain amputee on another Monday-night Fox show I could mention. And it looks like Wayne has figured out a way to finally stop people from accusing him of being weak: he's going to haul off and nuke Mideastia after all.

"Now we're gonna have some fun." I get the feeling Fayed's in for something uncomfortable. But if Jack and Doyle are playing good cop/bad cop, which one is supposed to be the good cop?

 

[BYH]

I predict Jack dies tonight. For real.

 

[2muchcoffeeman]

Nope.

 

[KYSportsWriter]

Thanks 2mcm.

Best kill yet.

Can this poor ****er get one second of happiness?

So the last several hours will be dealt with trying to save Audrey?

Makes me wonder if the chinese aren't somehow involved in this...how else would they know Jack was finallly free to worry about something else?

 

[Just_An_SID]

That was a shocker. Who would have ever thought that Audrey was still alive.

Of course, that was great timing by the Chinese again. . . the call comes seconds after everything is secure.

</sarcasm>

Of course in the real world, Jack would forget the number he was supposed to call back on and Audrey would die.

Jack: "I finally finished cleaning the house. Now I can relax."
Chinese badass: "Hello Jack. I have your cat."

 

[2muchcoffeeman]

I told you frakkers we were on the precipice of a holy **** moment (OK, several).

The Chinese intel types in the 24 universe are nasty bastards.

My name is 2muchcoffeeman, and I know Jack's ****. ;D

 

[bigpern23]

I liked the look on Doyle's face after the shenanigans were over and he surveyed the carnage.

"Damn, Jack."

Yeah, that was pretty good. I guess whatever "happened in Denver" paled in comparison. Yet while the kill of Fayed was quite impressive, the whole thing seemed a touch rushed and anticlimactic.
That said, the Chinese do have impeccable timing. And somehow I don't think we've seen the last of Jack's dad.

 

[bigpern23]

Not only do the Chinese have impeccable timing, they have the brilliant plan to bring Audrey back to L.A. and within reach of Jack.

They really took his incursion into the embassy personally, didn't they? Seems like they're going to a lot of trouble to **** with him.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

So was Audrey what the US Government gave up to get Jack back?

Did the Chinese insist on it being her, knowing if Jack survived what the US wanted him back for that she would be the only thing he would return to them for? Was CTU part of the conspriacy, telling Jack that she was dead so he would stay focused on the task at hand instead of thinking of how to get her back?

That's so good that if it isn't the storyline, they should so some serious-ass reshooting.
